Like all great HR technology, gamification is only as good as the people who design it. For your gamification to succeed, it must genuinely reflect your workplace culture, mission, practices and needs, because every organization, like every employee, is unique.

In this webinar, you’ll learn why, as an emerging technology, gamification requires:

• A customized strategy and framework.
• Seamless integration and alignment with your existing workplace culture and IT infrastructure.
• Meaningful rewards and recognition.
• Buy-in and support at all levels of leadership in your organization.

The most effective gamification efforts contain narrative, problem-solving, progress, feedback and meaning. These are the elements that deeply engage employees in learning and lead to the largest impact for the organization. Tacking on a mishmash of meaningless, superficial game elements, and hoping for the best, is a prescription for poor performance and business results.

Emerging and innovative technologies provide a huge variety of resources for training and talent development. Gamification, when designed properly, gives L&D a way to motivate employees, make the learning process engaging, and inspire stellar results.
